Method

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the chilli. Cook for 1 min, then add the curry paste, stir and cook for 1 min more. Dissolve the stock cube in a large jug in 700ml boiling water, then pour into the pan and stir to combine. Tip in the coconut milk and bring to the boil.

  2. Add the fish sauce and a little seasoning. Toss in the noodles and cook for a further 3-4 mins until softening. Squeeze in the lime juice, add the prawns and cook through until warm, about 2-3 mins. Scatter over some of the coriander.

  3. Serve in bowls with the remaining coriander and lime wedges on top for squeezing over.

I love this recipe for the Laksa base. I have found after making a few variations that the favourite in our house is to add baked salmon cut into chunks instead of the prawns (add it at the end after filling bowls so I can make sure we each have enough) and I also add sugersnap peas or mange tout to the broth at the same time as the noodles for extra bite! We now have this regularly in our house, its so quick and easy and has so much flavour. I also found dressing it with spring onions and parsley (partner isn't keen on coriander) gives it an extra bit of freshness.
